This touches a little on philosophical difference, but I have found that one major difference is the quantification of uncertainty. Bayesian models, being based naturally around modeling a probability distribution, easily enables the researcher to make claims such as "I am 95% certain the mean lies between x and y, given the data." On the other hand, neural networks, decision trees, and other models more associated with ML than Bayesian statistics do not have this capability built in. (Though there are variations and techniques to build confidence intervals and such with them.)
